Here’s our take on building a timeless collection that not only reinvents but also celebrates tradition and age-old craftsmanship.
A statement piece of jewellery adds not just style but a sense of value and sentiment to any look. While all the glitz and sparkle may not always create a demure aesthetic, a careful balance of shine and structure can produce an extraordinary result.
According to jewellery experts, most brides are looking to build a trousseau that is replete with layered pieces to increase usability after the wedding. Whether you’re revisiting a family heirloom or opting for a fresh new design, the only way to build a timeless collection is through thoughtful buying. Our advice is to look for two things: versatility and personalization. Replace chunky jewellery with refined, adaptable pieces. Invest in timeless designs that prioritise simplicity and exquisite craftsmanship for a collection that transcends trends. If you’re a purist at heart, why not start with gold or silver? And for those who enjoy the lust of precious gemstones, try emeralds, rubies, and polki diamonds for a timeless sparkle that whispers luxury.
But before we guide you through the styling of each piece, it's crucial to first highlight the key pieces that must form the foundation of your festive jewellery collection. Below, find a carefully curated list.
Statement Earrings
Let's cast aside the notion that Chandbalis, hoops, and jhumkas are confined to the realm of the purely classic. These beloved, sculpted curves are experiencing a delightful renaissance, allowing you to create a visually arresting dialogue between the earrings and any silhouette you choose. Whether you prefer gemstones or Meenakari work with pearl detailing, these pieces can beautifully complement an old saree borrowed from your mother's wardrobe or a pre-draped contemporary lehenga making its way to your fresh festive closet. The timeless design and craftsmanship of these earrings, paired with modern silhouettes, create a perfect balance of the old and the new, the modern and the classic, and the bold and elegant.
Covetable Rings
The very essence of ladylike elegance lies in the pairing of an oversized ring with a classic silhouette. This timeless combination takes flight to new heights when further enhanced with precious stones, pearls, or the captivating sparkle of polki. These treasures not only banish monotony but imbue the look with an air of sophistication. A single, vibrant pop of colour—perhaps an emerald, a ruby, or the brilliance of kundan stones—easily elevates your look from day to night, demanding minimal change in your overall style. Take your pick from our collection, which ranges from moissanite polki and natural amethyst to pure silver rings encrusted with emeralds.
Handcrafted Chokers
Chokers have transcended their fleeting trend status to become treasured companions in any jewellery collection. They are, without a doubt, an investment that will continue to yield dividends for years to come. A choker's versatility knows no bounds. It can be a captivating soloist, commanding attention on its own, or it can weave a scintillating narrative when layered with other pieces. For your Indian wear ensembles, a kundan choker serves as the perfect partner, gracefully escorting you from the vibrant sangeet to any festive celebration. If a touch of regal elegance is your desire, then a pearl choker adorned with rose quartz is a dream come true. This masterpiece is best admired alone, though a pair of delicate studs and an elegant watch can be introduced for a truly polished look.
Stackable bangles
While chokers and earrings in their many variations may capture attention, your jewellery collection will be incomplete without the perfect set of bangles. From statement-making gajra bangles to delicate stacks, the fashion circuit has been reaching out for striking pieces to add a touch of glamour to any look.
For a hint of understated sparkle, consider a pair or quartet of gold bangles alongside simple studs or hoops. This timeless combination instantly adds sophistication, be it for festive occasions or a grand wedding.
Gajra bangles, as their name implies, are kadas or bangles adorned with pearl beads that hold deep cultural significance in Rajasthan. Think pieces encrusted with polki, Meenakari, or even radiant rubies that are perfect to elevate a simple Kanjivaram saree or a luxorious silk Banarasi. When it comes to design, choose from our select collection of lightweight options to dramatic, oversized pieces to fit your personal style.
Maang Tikka
The maang tikka, though not a festive essential for every woman, holds the undeniable power to enhance any brocade lehenga or silk sharara with effortless grace. In fact, we believe this versatile piece might be your secret weapon for transforming any Indian ensemble. Take inspiration from the recent grand wedding affair, "The Ambani Wedding," where maang tikkas took centre stage. Isha Ambani, renowned for her love of statement emeralds, dazzled at her brother's wedding in statement jewellery. Her choice of accessories beautifully reminds us that while minimalism has its charm, embracing bold and grand pieces can be truly awe-inspiring. From the classic matha patti to the intricate pasas, our collection of one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces are sure to make you the radiant centrepiece of the wedding festivities.
